Working with clients who want lead gen but leads are getting more expensive and even at times unqualified. Clients don't want to spend/value branding because it's not quantifiable. Cont...

I'm a Tech Risk SC, but have an accounting/finance background. I'm doing the FRM now for broader cert experience, is it worth doing CA long term in my area?

Anyone know the raise amounts for BCG yet?

I want to quit without a job lined up. My agency is a dumpster fire of incompetent project managers, revolving door of creatives and culture of not holding people accountable amidst a micromanaging gossipy leadership. I just want out. Tell me it is ok and will be alright.

Does anyone ever feel like working in this industry is just overall toxic? Unreasonable deadline times, every single client just being cheap (always quantity over quality), having to play this game of not including everything when you know it is needed, temporary fixes, blame games, and then clients always acting like they are the victim. It doesn’t surprise me but the overall things that happen behind the scenes just for people to get decent work and stay in business just wow…

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Sales? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a sales person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)

Hi All,

Just wanted to know How @hitachiVantara
Pro/Cons ?

Out of curiosity and to see how we all compare to one another, what are people seeing as raise changes from Senior 1 to Senior 2? I want to see if an 8% raise is fair or poor

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?

Is this an aggressive position? Would you use final regulations effective for tax year beggining Dec 16, 2020 to support a deduction for calendar tax year 2020? Proposed regulations didn't include this exception. More details below.

I’m planning to start cold emailing a few companies that I’d love to work at. Is it more beneficial to reach out to hiring managers or someone in the department you’d like to be at?

I’ve been asked to pitch in on a gift for a supervisor who’s leaving. No price point was recommended because the people invited range from juniors to EVPs. I’m at an associate level, only been at the company for 6 months, BUT this person did have a hand in getting my resume seen. Any idea what I should pitch in?

Going into my first pitch. I know my stuff, we’ve rehearsed, feels good. Any other tips?

I’ve recently been interested in the idea of moving from Canada(Toronto) to the US(California) with McCann. I am wondering if this is common & if anyone else has made move before with tips?

I HATE my job. I've been looking aggressively for 6 months and haven't found anything. I am in the running for a job I think I'd like, but the money is not nearly what I make now. Thoughts?

Is Word or PDF format resume more compatible with ATS? P.S. I have invisible tables underline my resume. Please advise. THANKS!!

I started a new account job at an agency. I’ve been here for about 2 months & I hate it. To put it simply, its an absolute mess. Does it look bad to other agencies if I jump ship after only 2 months?

I’m really interested in Account Planning, which my company doesn’t have. What do I need to know to break into that role? Is it typically a (semi) stable position?

Recommendations on how to switch of out advertising? I’m so over media strategy and want to switch into something different. I’ve toyed with UX strategy or design but would also be happy with doing something in marketing that I actually care about and have fun.

Looking to leave my job and start my own boutique agency out of my garage - literally. My 2 roommates cover copy and art, and I’m a strategist. We’re a group of 1st years at Brandcenter and are a little worried we won’t be taken seriously. Any tips?

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Saw a post on LinkedIn about not citing inflation as a reason to ask for a raise?! Feels like inflation is a perfectly valid reason to be asking for a raise, no?

#Question - What is a good rate for a HALF-DAY shoot as a freelance photographer/AD for a mid-level agency with big clients? I’d be taking the photos! Editorial/usage rights for digital and social.

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan. I can’t begin to express (but attempt to in comment👇) how wildly out of context this fbk comes considering this flaming 💩 dumpster 🔥 of a workplace situation. Advice: - How do I get through BS mtg w/out hitting mgr w/a R/antiwork-style ✌🏻🖕🏻”bye Felicia”?! Ps. I’m an f’ing adult & welcome fdbk when it’s even mildly in touch w reality.

I’m stuck at a transitional point in my career where I can’t figure out a direction that I feel excited about. Does anyone have resources, books, career coaches, etc. that may help me find clarity?

Anyone have a recommendation for a career coach - I’m burnt out and hate advertising/digital ? Also I’m was just laid off so now’s the time to make a change
